In reply to the discussion: CNN Poll: Biden tops Trump nationwide, but battlegrounds tilt Trump [View all]Jarqui
(10,906 posts)21. I do not believe that poll
I tried to find the mix of demographics but did not find it quickly.
I did not feel like trying to figure it out from their numbers.
It should be readily available if they're credible and professional.
Shouldn't have to search for it.
Why would I say that?
From looking at all the polls on Real Clear Politics & 538.com
and from Trump's state by state approval numbers
https://morningconsult.com/tracking-trump-2/
Trump is not close to leading in any of Hillary's 2016 states.
And he's behind in many if not all of the battleground states

OP
Right! If you read the poll 538 people polled across 15 states...that's not reliable

They'll find a way to pin it on Dems, they ALWAYS do, and the deplorables ALWAYS run with it.

Their battleground poll groups them all together as one, and that is misleading

+1000 there are lots of individual battleground polls that show Biden with a growing lead

Other than the national margin, the rest of this seems like such an outlier compared to other polls.

You can't combine states in one poll...it distorts the numbers and is not reliable.

Oh yes. The, regardless of the state of things, 50/50 poll that keeps you watching.
